On my trip I unexpectedly ended up in #italy It wasn't a plan at all but when someone comes to you with "I am moving from Zurich to Torino, I just put trailer behind my bike and looking for some help."
I just couldn't resist to be a part of this #carryshitolympics
I was told to not worry, that the route was quite easy "only" one climb. But if you know something about #switzerland you know the little problem at the borders called #alps
So the one climb was to St Bernard mountain pass ~2500m high. To get it up we strapped two additional bikes in front of the one with the trailer down in Martigny and started the climb.
I was quite glad that at 2000m when the bigger road goes in the tunnel and smaller road continues up to the pass it was decided that it would be better to break up the bike train and use the e-bike that someone who also came to help brought.
It was nice to stop whenever and take some pictures, but most glad was probably the guy in front of me - he had road gearing.
Even though the first part was a bit less steep, the last 500m of climbing was, even with my loaded bike, easy compared to pulling the bike train.
We got up in about 5h and after few pictures we started the descent to Aosta. Fortunately the trailer had brakes.
